This week I'm helping with the care of my neighbor's beautiful golden retriever, Rosie. Yesterday when I went over to let her out, my neighbor had left a book for me to read. Her note said it was great so I couldn't wait to start it. I opened it around 4:00 p.m. and didn't put it down until I finished at 1:30 a.m. That's how good it was! The fact that it was large print was a bonus.
The Lost Wife is well-written Holocaust fiction and a terrific love story. However, because of the subject matter, it's not for someone looking for light, "happy", reading. The author, Alyson Richman, is an amazing author and I'd say this is at the top of my list of favorites!
Don't forget to comment on my previous post so your name will be in the hat for my blogiversary giveaway on August 1.
I'll have to look for it. I remember someone else telling me it was good.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed your read. Have a terrific Tuesday and we hope it is not too hot where you are. We are desperate for some cooler weather.

Sharon, I am not one for light, airy reading, this book sounds just right for me! Congratulations on your 3rd anniversary. I guess i am about 4 years in. Isn't it amazing that we can still find things to write about?! I sent you an email concerning the paper gardens, let me know if you got it. Jeri
ReplyDeleteThis one is going on my list too. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for referring a novel you have found interesting and worthy of recommending. I will look for this one..
ReplyDeleteI prefer ones on a rather documentary level. Perhaps that is why I enjoyed Gone With The Wind so much even though I knew it was fiction. :)
